Slow Cooker Saag Aloo

Spiced potatoes with spinach — a classic Indian side dish that works brilliantly as a main with rice or naan.

Ingredients

• 500g potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 1 onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, crushed
• 400g tin chopped tomatoes
• 200g fresh spinach
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp ground coriander
• 1 tsp turmeric
• 1 tsp garam masala
• 1/2 tsp chilli powder
• 100ml water

Method

1. Place potatoes, onion, garlic, and tomatoes in the slow cooker.
2. Add all spices and water.
3. Cook on Low for 4-5 hours until potatoes are tender.
4. Stir in the spinach until wilted.
5. Serve as a side or as a main with rice and naan.

Tips

This is traditionally a side dish but it’s hearty enough as a main meal with rice. Add paneer cubes for extra protein.
